Im in Mo. Went to GA last week to P/U an '07 450 for a doner. I took my Kx450 just in case I found a track on the way. Well I found a nice one...Big finnish line jump, 20 feet wide everywhere, and 8 inches of SAND  :-(. Who would have thought. Should have taken the AF to try out.

3rd ride report:

Noticed some weepage between the carb bowl and carb. Probably just needs some tightening or a new gasket. Bike still screams.

Got a pinch flat today running 18 psi. Had to limp back to the parking area about 5 miles on a flat. Probably roached the rear tire but did not bend the rim!

My personal record for flats is 3 Saturdays in a row with heavy duty tubes and rim strips and minimum 18 psi. The place I ride can be very brutal.

The bike is holding up very well!

I hear ya!

Just not a whole lot of sand here in Vegas. After I pulled the tire I did have a bent rim after all! Taking it into work with me so I can use the press to get it straight. Used clear tubing cut in half so I wouldn't mess up the pretty painted rims! We'll she's broke in now!
